Just to make sure I have the terminology straight:
Conlang: constructed language -- any artificial language.
Auxlang: auxiliary language -- an artificial language intended as a
linguistically neutral ground for international communication.
Artlang: art language -- an artificial language built for its own sake,
often as a "mental exercise" to explore a linguistic possibility.
Ficlang: fictional language -- an artificial language built to fit into
a fictional world.
Natlang: natural language -- a real-world language that developed
naturally.
Lanalang: Clark Kent's high school sweetheart.
Am I right?
